Return Address Labels

Do you get too many return address labels in the mail like I do? When this happens I cut off the names (shred them of course) and then I have some pretty or cute little stickers for my envelopes and packages. I store them in a cute little box and when I need one, they are all in one place.

Why shred them? My husband ruined a very expensive shredder running labels through it. It got gummed up to the point where you couldn't clean it. then someone pointed out why shred them, your address is all over everything else so why bother to destroy them? Good point after an expensive loss.

At first I was overwhelmed with all the address labels and then I found ways to use them. I lend books and cd's to friends and family so I put a label on the book and the cd case so they know who to return it to.

When I fill out a post card requesting information of some sort, instead of filling out the card, I just use the address label. It is so much easier to read the printed label than interpret some handwriting
